Native desktop builds for macOS — install once, run offline, no browser tab or subscription required.
Setup on Mac
Download the installer
Download the latest Scantrail installer from the GitHub Releases page (https://github.com/bensblueprints/qr-tracker-mvp/releases) — or build it yourself from the MIT source.
Install
Run the installer — one click, no terminal, no account to create.
Run it locally
Scantrail runs 100% on your machine — no account, no telemetry, and it keeps working with the Wi-Fi off.
What works offline: everything. Scantrail is a desktop app — once it's installed, no feature needs a connection to us.
Scantrail on Mac — honest answers
Is it really free on GitHub?
Yes — MIT source at github.com/bensblueprints/qr-tracker-mvp. $69 buys the signed installer, 1-click setup and updates.
Why do dynamic codes need a server?
Because the QR encodes a URL on your domain that redirects to the real destination — that's what makes it editable after printing. A $5 VPS covers it; desktop mode is fine for designing, testing and static codes.
